The significant level of interest in the Level I training
sessions has resulted in more applications that there are
positions available. Effective today, applications are no longer
accepted for any of the course locations except Vancouver, where
we will continue to accept applications from the Divisions
within BC until the maximum number of registrants is achieved.

We will now complete the selection process and notify all
successful applicants.

The
2010 TCRC National Training Program schedule for Level I
Division Officer Training sessions throughout Canada has
recently been finalized. Attached is Training Bulletin No. 1-10,
which outlines the schedule and locations for the delivery of
the Level I Division Officer training for 2010, as well as an
explanation of how the participant selection process works and
how the payment to the participants is managed.

Divisions can choose to register their officers for this
training, or individuals may also register themselves. When we
have sufficient numbers of applicants we will distribute the
notice that registration is completed. Participants will be
selected in the following order of preference:

We are utilizing three of our own trainers
this year, Brothers Brennen Barr (945), Ray Donegan (847), and
Ted Moore (728), as well as Teamsters Canada Director of
Education, Sister Brigitte Sottile, who will host the Montreal
session. The program has been updated and improved based on our
experience from the last two years, the trainers are motivated
and prepared, and we expect the 2010 training season to be the
best ever!

Registration is being accepted through the Ottawa office in care
of Elaine. Her email address is
tcrcnlb@teamstersrail.ca, and when contacting her please
understand that she will be unable to immediately confirm
whether or not a particular person is accepted or not. That is
something that will take place after we have sufficient
applicants and we cut off registration.
